Cruise just told me something.. That our story has been circulating quite a bit in church. I'm taken by surprise! I didn't know that the decision we made back then could still have such a great impact on the kids today! Perhaps that's why the churchies are so excited about our upcoming wedding ceremony; some perhaps more excited than Cruise and I. It suddenly dawned on me that those who asked us "how's your wedding prep coming along?" genuinely care for us, and can't wait to see us close the dating chapter and write another new chapter together! Oh how bad I've been to take these words as additional stressors in my life! These people are truly happy for us! Sorry... And thank you, you who care and love us!
Choices. Decisions. Every single one matters. People are watching. People are learning. Words are merely words; actions speak louder than words. I'm glad I made a few God-honouring decisions in my life and that these can be used to encourage others. I'm also thankful Cruise and I chose to NOT compromise about the wedding gown, how we insisted on dressing modestly even on our Big Day itself. The additional $500 spent did leave a hole in our pockets and in our hearts. But we know, it's all worthwhile! :)
